“There are many kinds of teachers and then there are special teachers, like Joana Saahirah, who carry the power of transformation on their skin, and that shows, it passes on to all her students; because the best teaching we can offer someone is the love for what we do. 

To study with this prestigious dancer and teacher is to embark on a beautiful journey without end; without return; a very intimate and deep trip. Her classes are unmatched! Her world is magical, she's magical.”

“ Since I have started taking classes with you, I have really opened myself up to what moves feel good on my body. I have expanded my knowledge of classical music. I know think about Egyptian music differently when I hear it.

When I went to Egypt in the spring, armed with the info from your classes, I saw how the native dancers moved in a different way from the way I had been trained.

I saw and felt the difference between dancing on top of music versus sharing the music and dance with a musician. All these concepts which you gave in your classes seriously prepared me to get the most out of the trip.

I really felt like I experienced artistic culture in Egypt, because I knew what to look for thanks to your teaching.

I eagerly await the next platform of your dance school and the many topics we have yet to cover.

Thank you, Ms. Joana and I look forward to being in your class again!”

"Yes, simply the BEST. She pours out so much love, passion, light through the screen to all students and it inspires me so much. There had been doubts, confusions in my head but she is the one saying exactly what I need to hear to awaken myself. Now I feel my heart is more open for every movement. Her classes change the landscape of my dance basically. She is such a blessing  to the education of Egyptian Dance today.”
